The next in the series of ‘a Networking Lunch with a Difference’ will be exploring the technologies of the future. New technologies are continually being developed, from gecko hairs to smart fabrics, all promising an array of possible applications. Will carbon nanotubes allow us to build a space elevator? Do we want to build a space elevator? What other new technologies will affect the future? What commercial opportunities do these technologies provide? Join us for an engaging discussion about technology of the future. The event will also provide an opportunity to get up-to-date with our current activities, to find out more about the benefits of membership of The Oxford Trust and to talk to us about ways in which you might get more involved in our work.

Sponsored by Smart Women Ltd, this event encourages regulars on the women’s networking scene to invite a young woman along. She might be a client, a friend, a daughter, but she’s certainly welcome to join Nottingham’s most vibrant women’s networking event. Carolynn Aitken of Red Shoes Memories Ltd. will be talking about how stories are integral to the Red Shoes brand, and sharing the story behind the brand. Enterprising women can take a table at the event to promote their businesses or to sell their products (ideal for selling Christmas gifts). And the event even supports a business brand new to Nottingham in the venue, Goji, which specialises in healthy oriental food. What more can you want from a networking event? Well, there’s always the excellent networking, of course! For more information and to download a booking form, go to www.womengetsmart.co.uk/about/womensnetwork.
